Shelby and her alien guy.  She spent the day with a friend at a laser tag place in Massachusetts.  This was the prize that she chose.  She placed it in Matthew's bedroom to try and scare him when he came home from work (usually around midnight).  According to Shelby Matthew said it freaked him out a little.

One more thing out of the basement.  One of Mark's friends that raise cattle took our freezer.

february 25

Mark brushing kitty.  Kitty doesn't usually stay still long enough.  He seemed to be enjoying it.  Mark's next project for Kitty will be to replace the rope on his scratching post.  We have already replaced it once.

february 24

We went to Panera Bread for lunch, Shelby's treat.  In the last week or so we found $145.42 in gift cards that belong to Shelby.  Doesn't she looked thrilled??

february 23

Shelby and Mark finished the driveway.  Mark washed my car and his truck.

february 22

Matthew and I started scrapping the driveway.  Mark took over for me when he got home from work.  With it being 50 degrees we were able to get about half of it done.  The ice was about 1" thick in places.  Our driveway gets very little sun.

february 21

Shelby's mask.  She got a couple in her Christmas stocking and decided to give one a try.

february 20

Michael A came by.  He spent about 2 1/2 hours with us.  I miss this young man, a lot!

february 18

Wacky Wednesday at school.

february 17

Happy Anniversary to us...24 years.  We both had today off so we went to lunch at Olive Garden.

february 16

They're at it again...I believe Mark's butt was spanked by Matthew 2-1.

february 15

Shelby finally asked for a facebook.

february 14

Valentine's for the kids.  No, I didn't forget to give one to Michael I just didn't put it out because he's not here anymore.  

february 13

Matthew's phone...it went through the snow blower.  It fell out of his coat pocket.  He left for work and we tried to find it in about 10" of snow...ahhh, nope!  Well, not until it was too late.

He didn't have any insurance on it because he had his original phone for 4 years.  He ended up purchasing a new one through amazon.  He was without a phone for a week and didn't seem to mind it.

february 12

I got a little help at walmart today.

february 11

This has become one of Kitty's favorite spots to sit.

february 10

Shelby is back to taking the bus home...no more basketball practice.

february 09

Out to lunch with the Bisson's.  They came and watched Shelby play in her travel game.  Always a good time with them.

february 08

Shelby is part of my mission: organization!  All growing up these were her 2 shelves that she kept her stuff on...well she really doesn't use them (I have a container of yarn in there) so I want her to figure out want she wants to keep, throw away and put in her childhood box.  With her schedule it might take a little while.

I have slowly been going through stuff...I believe I got rid of most stamping magazine that I owned.  I had ones dating back to 2001...not kidding.  GONE and it feels GOOD!

february 07

Shelby went to Roller Kingdom for Riley's 14th birthday.  She did pretty well for someone who doesn't skate.  She used the in-line skates.  She fell twice but had a good time.

february 06

Shelby brought home information about the high school.  I don't like....

The middle school lost their 2nd playoff game.  All done!  We had pizza & awards after the game.

Mark loading software for my laptop.  Someone that Mark works with is trying to fix my computer...I have been getting blue screens.  In the process of trying to fix it...I lost my Silhouette shapes.  They have a recovery on their sight but I don't want to use it until I know the computer is fixed.

Blizzard bag day for Shelby...we got about 10 or so inches of snow.  It was the worst storm I have had to drive in this year.  Though I no one was on the roads and I was happy about that.

Today would have been my nana's 96 birthday.

feburary 04

Our 1st week night game with travel.  We played very well...won by 1 point.

february 03

Won our 1st round of playoffs with the school team.

february 02

Mark, Shelby and I went out to breakfast.  It was very good!  Shelby and I had vegetable omelets and Mark had his over easy, as usual.

february 01

Shopping at the mall...I had a few coupons that were going to expire and I wanted to use them before they did.  Shelby chose to come along....Here she is in Hot Topic.  When I walked in she was talking to a cute young man that works there.  Oh boy!
